Financial spreadbetters expected Britain's FTSE 100 .FTSE to open 27 to 30 points higher, or as much as 0.6 percent, Germany's DAX .GDAXI to open 39 to 42 points higher, or as much as 0.8 percent, and France's CAC-40 .FCHI to open 38 to 41 points higher, or as much as 1.1 percent.

European shares dropped 1.2 percent on Tuesday, hitting a one-month closing low, with disappointing results from Swiss lender UBS (UBSN.VX) weighing on banking stocks. (Reporting by Blaise Robinson; Editing by Jan Dahinten)
